The human brain is not fully formed until the age of 25. The ban should allow the sale at age 25 instead of 21. Or: No sales to anyone at all of this type of weapon.
Right on!
Age 25 should include voting, alcohol, marriage, driver’s license, contracts/credit cards, and military service…how in the world can you trust an 18 year old to join the military to carry and use: a fully automatic, real assault weapon; a bayonet; a machine gun; mortar, artillery, tanks; bombs and oh my…nuclear weapons! Lead troops and make decisions. Age 25…ah make it 30 to add experience into the equation.
“Ignorance is bliss” (Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College). Don’t let research get in your way!
Like most lazy, self-serving, less than intelligent people, you didn’t bother reading the initiative before spouting, It is 30 pages long! An assault rifle is broadly defined….this includes 22 long rifle firearms….22 LR, not 5,45×39, 5.56×45 (223), 7,62×39, 7.62×51 (308) etc!
Initiative Measure No. 1639, filed May 2, 2018
(25) “Semiautomatic assault rifle” means any rifle which utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round, and which requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge. “Semiautomatic assault rifle” does not include antique firearms, any firearm that has been made permanently inoperable, or any firearm that is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action.
This initiative goes beyond the age of consent (21). It involves retailers, sellers, purchasers, storage, transport and ownership. 30 pages….
Let me xplane it to you as you appear woefully deficient in mechanical engineering regarding firearms…let’s not have ignorance get in your way!
Any semi-automatic rifle whether military based or hunting/target based is considered an “assault rifle”.
Continuing edudicating you….any semi-automatic rifle, no matter the caliber, that is fed by a tubular magazine, an integral magazine or a magazine:
• 22LR gallery/carnival gun;
• stripper clips like the SKS;
• en bloc like a Garand;
• hunting rifle like a Browning or Remington 740, 7400 magazine fed;
• or any other magazine fed like a ruger 10/22 in 22LR or GSG in 22LR is an assault rifle
The larger issue is that federalism, one that creates fiefdoms that run counter to national laws, is the deathbed of the constitutionally mandated 2d Amendment. How can we have individual states decide what and how 2d Amendment rights should be applied without running the risk of undermining our freedoms?
It was bad enough when attempts were made by liberal politicians to have the UN decide for us what is good for us, as though we weren’t smart enough to precisely that on our own.
The bottom line is that unless we have a federal force that can enforce national laws, regardless of ‘sancuary state, township or community’ refusal to allow local law enforcement to collaborate with federal forces, we end up fighting one another while the villain escapes unscathed.
wiki: The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is a multilateral treaty that regulates the international trade in conventional
weapons. It entered into force on 24 December 2014. One hundred states have ratified the treaty, and a further 39 states have signed but not ratified it
The ATT is an attempt to regulate the international trade of conventional weapons for the purpose of contributing to international and regional peace; reducing human suffering; and promoting co-operation, transparency, and responsible action by and among states.
The treaty was negotiated in New York City at a global conference under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) from 2–27 July 2012. As it was not possible to reach an agreement on a final text at that time, a new meeting for the conference was scheduled for 18–28 March 2013. On 2 April 2013, the UN General Assembly adopted the ATT.
International weapons commerce has been estimated to reach US$70 billion a year.
